Guess what?

You walk out the front door, you're going to the same shit newsstand that I'm going to.

You're getting your coffee from the same fucking place.

It's probably the most out of anywhere, right?

Because there's so many old school New Yorkers that are like, this is how you read the news.

That's part of their life.

Oh, yeah.

Getting the Times every morning, going home.

Billy Connolly had this joke after he got sober where he was talking about living in New York.

And he goes, every morning my routine is I walk to the newsstand.

I buy a cup of coffee in the morning edition of the New York Times.

My life is a ball of fire.

And then the funniest part of the joke is he said there was the same homeless guy every day that he would give money to.

And he said one day the homeless guy goes, you know you don't have to give me money every day.

And he goes, I know I don't, you little fucking cunt.

Energy.

New York's one of those places, man, when I loved it.

God, I loved it.

And I still have a lot of love for the city.

It wasn't for me to live in anymore.
